Looks like a fantastic project by one of NYC’s most prominent voices of arts criticism: Paddy Johnson. In the words of Lauren Cornell from Rhizome.org (paraphrasing here): Paddy Johnson and AFC keep us on our toes. From her blog:<\/p>\n
I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m running a Kickstarter campaign<\/a> to help raise funds for the production of an LP full of art sounds heard in New York called The Sound of Ar<\/a>t. $10,000 is the base number I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d need to complete the project, a very scary number for an independently run blog such as this to raise. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s possible the goal won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be reached, in which case the project receives nothing: Miss your target goal, and Kickstarter doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t fund the campaign.<\/p>\n I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m running this fundraiser in spite of numbers that make nervous, because I have to. I passionately believe in this project, and as cliche as it sounds, I would be too deeply\u00c2\u00a0burdened\u00c2\u00a0by regret if I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do everything I could to make it happen. This project is too large to complete though without the help of everyone who comes here regularly.<\/p>\n Already, countless people have already donated their sounds and time in an effort to make this project, many of whom are mentioned below. In addition to overseeing the project, for my part, I am offering a studio visit or gallery crawl of your choice to those who donate $150 dollars or more. For a mere $50 dollars more, you will receive an offset lithograph by Phillip Neimeyer titled Picturing The Past Ten Years<\/a><\/em>. For $350 more, donors\u00c2\u00a0will receive a print made in response to the record, by celebrated artist Michael Smith be given the opportunity to eat dinner with me and twitter maven and art world critic artist\u00c2\u00a0William Powhida<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll go somewhere better than the local C-Town<\/a> I promise.<\/p>\n Reach the target number, and none other than AndrewAndrew<\/a> have promised to host the final party. There are no better night than the one\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re involved in, so let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s make this thing happen<\/a>.<\/p>\n Read more<\/a>.
